A year in Uganda... Dr Catriona Bentley has been working in Uganda for a year and there have been various events held in the Mission Area to help provide resources etc. for the medical work in hospitals in that area.
An email from Catriona......
Dear All,
Thank you to everyone who contributed in anyway to the events which raised money for equipment for Uganda. During my fleeting Christmas visit I was able to pick up all the items you see in the photo attached. These are all essential pieces of anaesthetic equipment which are just not available here in Uganda. The textbooks will be a useful resource for all the anaesthetists working at CoRSU. I am most grateful to you all on behalf of my colleagues, and the patients who will now benefit from this kit being available.
Best Wishes,
Catriona

Posada - 2011
Posada is an old Mexican custom which celebrates the coming of Jesus and reminds us all that we should make room for Jesus this Christmas.
Modern Posada uses nativity figures of Mary, Joseph and the donkey who travel from place to place and are offered hospitality each night. As a Mission Area each church is having it for one week of Advent.
Posada was launched by the visit of two Mexicans (aka Malcolm and Jonathan) to our service on the first Sunday of Advent (November 27th) at Seaton Road. During the week Mary, Joseph and the donkey have a busy week planned, visiting many of the activities taking place at church. There is a notebook for prayers, diary entries, photos etc accompanying the figures as well as a collecting box raising money for Methodist Homes. The Posada will be visiting Trimley, Trinity and Kirton for the following weeks of Advent and will be returning to Seaton Road on Christmas morning when there will be an additional figure in the party.
This is a very visual reminder for us all to make room for Jesus in our lives this Christmas.
